Things I see...

-


Often when I'm out and about, I'll see something that catches my eye and I'll stop for a closer look.

Just kidding!

Most of the time, I walk away without another thought, but lately I've been remembering to take a quick photo so I can show you some of things I come across in my travels :)


HOME GOODS HAPPY



Queen size headboard with nail head trim.
I admit I was seriously tempted.


I tried them out and they were very comfortable.


 They actually had a set of 4!


 Very Italian!

Love me some Dip Dye!

  Next up was the thrift store where I saw this campaign style TV cabinet by Drexel that I envisioned turning into a clothing armoire for a studio apartment.


 

I mean how perfect are these drawers outfitted with cubbies for ties, socks and underwear?



There was also this nice looking wicker dresser


Oh and this vintage bar cart trolley that I couldn't resist for $15!


I keep buying cool things in hopes that one day in the not too distant future our son will have a great apartment in the city!


I found a set of these to go with it a few days later...
 

I think this ensemble had just arrived at the salvage yard!

It just goes to show you never know what you are going to find!


 

 


And last but not least was this vintage circa 1960s suede Gucci briefcase.


A bit worse for the wear,


but still cool nonetheless!


What have you stumbled on lately?
Please take a minute to visit MaryAnn over at Classic Casual Home where she is hosting a giveaway to help Ugandan women widowed by AIDS support themselves and their children.

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
